Lou Modestino Track Talk
Ryan Blaney won the Cup race while Joey Logano of Middletown, CT came in tenth with Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT finishing 14th while Boston’s Kaz Grala had to settle for 27th.  Then it was Corey LaJoie that placed 35th.  Corey LaJoie is the son of Two-Time Xfinity Champion Randy Lajoie who grew up in Norwalk, CT before he decided to head for Charlotte, NC in order to be closer to the top NASCAR action.
Aric Almirola took the checked flag first in the Xfinity race with seventh place going to Anthony Alfredo of Ridgefield, CT while Parker Kligerman of Weston, CT came in eighth.  Blaine Perkins finished 19th with Long Island’s Patrick Emerling caming home in 23rd.  Alfredo and Perkins both drive Team Cars for Cape Cod’s Chris Our and his daughter Mary who reside in Chatham, MA.
